Hello together, after a disc change at ATU (due to workshop binding) at the R57 the rain sensor was no longer working. This had to be reactivated, which cost me some additional workshop visits at ATU and Mini. Now I have noticed that the light sensor does not work either. Didn’t notice me in winter, because I generally drive with light. ATU does not seem to get the error solved. Before I now drive to Mini again and if necessary sit at the cost bl iebe, here is the question whether someone knows how to activate the light sensor again. In the on-board computer, by the way, “day running light” is disabled.

Hi, I’m looking for a countryman for my wife. Since I didn’t drive a mini or have a big idea of this, I’m asking here for tips on what to take and what better not. At the online exchanges and the mini homepage I looked around a little and looked out the following criteria: – Mini Countryman Cooper (122hp petrol) – black metallic – seat heating – Xenon – PDC rear – sliding roof – from EZ 11/2014 (same facelift ???) – up to 20,000 km run – sports seats – 18″ Turbo Fan Rims optional: – Navi – leather seats or partial leather seats from private there is probably not at all in the equipment, mostly all former rental vehicles. What should you take, what better not? Where should you pay attention to the former rental vehicle at the mini?

Hello together, for my girlfriend a Mini Cooper S due to the price limit of about 10 – 12T€ and not too much km, it must be a R56 with 174PS. I have read through some forums and unfortunately read again and again that the 174PS engine should not be so great. Now I have the opportunity to come to one of the first Cooper S with 174PS EZ was in early 2007. The vehicle is apparently from first hand and has quite good equipment – Hifi system, Panoramic adach, partial leather, chilli package, seat heating and still a little snappy. Vehicle has almost 79 TKM and is first-hand. Checkbook-kept – brakes, air-conditioning evaporators and chain tensioners were changed only recently (chain tensioner already for the second time at BMW). What do you think you can pay for the vehicle 10 T€ and have the feeling that you had a good offer and a normally good car. Nobody is inside but for me the question arises, if the Engine series up to 120 Tkm is recommended or rather less… Vehicle had no chip tuning and was rather leisurely driven by a woman – so the theory :-). For me the following questions arise: – Is the 174hp so much worse than the 184ps – so in terms of stability – Is the purchase price good or does the vehicle bring in three four years with 120TKM still 6-7T€? current DAT is about 6500… – Would it be better to save a little and then a Mini JCW to the engines are supposed to be a little better.. If our first mini and liked it I also do wg. of the Go-Kart-Feeling… Would be grateful for one opinion or another.

Hi Community, I’m currently looking for a Mini Cooper. Would be my first car. Found now also one that I like. However, the good vehicle has 3 crack points: 1.He had a wild damage. Front apron was changed, bonnet painted. Does the car count as an accident car? 2. Has left, right, back each a scratch of about 5 cm. Does a paint pencil help there? The paint is brown shiny. 3. The car was during inspection, but the stamps were not attached. The mini checkbook is empty. However, the dealer would give the car to a BMW branch office for inspection and registration. How important is it that it is registered continuously? Is not the last entry in the checkbook relevant and proves that everything is correct? Key data from the car: Bj 07/2011 Mini Cooper 122Ps 42t km mileage Price 12,000 Incl. guarantee (Intec All-in-one Premium) / BMW inspection Is this what or should I prefer the Fin Don’t do it? Cheers

Hello everybody, stand very close to the purchase of a new Countryman SD automatic. TwoThree questions I would have still there … maybe you can and might help. – The radio will be the “visual”. What equipment do I have to choose at least, so that I can connect a normal “USB stick” with MP3s ? – I would like to have the single seats in the back and then the long centerrail – in the configurator I can not get that! Is there a certain equipment variant (JCW ???) with it I get the single seats in the back ? – The HarmanKardon sound system. Is there actually a subwoofer integrated ? I found here in the forum unfortunately no information about it. Unfortunately I can not ask the friendly mini salesman, the whole is a little “wrong”. Therefore would be great if I could clarify this here. Thanks ! JNR

I have just seen that my ex-clubman is for sale… even if there are some errors in the display and the price has been set too high, I am thinking of whether I should look at it… background history to the mini: I ordered the mini and after 2.5 years exchanged with motor problems for a 12od cabrio… now he has over 13o.oo km…so the question arises whether the motor is through or for me alone as a fun and second car still makes sense. Do you think…?

Hello, my MINI was registered on 22.06.2011. Now I received a letter from my friend, in which I am advised to have my vehicle checked again before the 2 year warranty period expires. To this end, a warranty extension of 12 months is offered for 229,00 EUR, which protects against mechanical and electronic defects. What do you have here for experience? At the convertible useful? Thank you for your feedback, Kris

Hello together, the following facts: We leased a Mini Roadster S about 24 months ago and are still enthusiastic about the car. Overall running time is 36 months, i.e. about 1 year remaining time. Now I would like to know if it is possible to switch to another vehicle (BMW 320 Touring or 4 Series Coupe, etc.) even before the entire 36 months have expired. If it is possible, which expenses would I have to reckon with? Thank you for your answers! uß Florian

Good evening, I’m looking for a first car for me at the moment. I came to Mini today and who says there is even good equipment in my budget. For the time being: Could you advise me to buy a Mini Cooper S as the first car? Have already had 5 months experience with a VW Polo. Are there any things to consider when buying? Have you picked out some offers here and would be interested in your opinion. http://suchen.mobile.de/…/19051571 5.html?… http://suche.mobile.de/…/191709194.html?… http://suche.mobile.de/…/191015179.html?… http://suche.mobile.de/…/191218104.html?… http://suche.mobile.de/…/191934254.html?… Do the minis all have standard LED daytime running light from 2008 onwards? What’s the automatic transmission like? Is the sound at the standard exhaust also good? Does anyone have a test? Thank you very much!

Hello Motor-Talker, I would like to get a Mini Cooper S R53 soon. My heart beats forever for the sporty version of the Mini Cooper and as soon as it is ready, I wanted to ask you as a professional and Mini Cooper driver what I have to pay attention to and what tips you have for me. Since my budget unfortunately only lasts up to 600€, the models I have been looking at for a long time at numerous internet portals (mobile, autoscout, etc.) always about 100,000 – 140,000 kilos I’ve never driven a mini before, but I’ve already read many forums on this topic. Now I’m asking you for reports on the Mini Cooper S R53 and on the essential aspects of the Mini Cooper S: sportiness, driving fun (should be awesome), insurance, consumption, safety and workshop costs or how vulnerable is the mini? In advance already many thanks to you and another nice evening, greeting TheZonda PS: Maybe a little bit more The example of Autoscout. What do you think of it?http://www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?id=239500152&asrc=fa的sr&vst=1
